The slightly longer length permits the inclusion of all five courses of five bell runs plus a sixth containing four bell runs.
First rung on handbells at Tilehurst on 22 September 2004, conducted by Graham A C John.

Handbell friendly for 3-4 (94% 3-4 position, 6% coursing i.e. the 6 leads after the final call).
In Cambridge Maximus, the 3-4 position is arguably easier than coursing, because
the position is maintained above and below the treble through most of the course.

Handbell friendly for 3-4 (95% 3-4 position, 5% 4-5 position i.e. the 5 easiest leads of the 4-5 course from the bob home).
Another way of maximising the 3-4 position in a minimum length.
